DECHEM returns to Milan Design Week with From Sand, a collection that traces the transformation of glass from its raw, elemental origins to refined, functional form.
This new body of work explores how sand becomes glass—through geological processes, human craftsmanship, and industrial innovation—culminating in a series of interior pieces that merge material storytelling with contemporary design. By juxtaposing rough textures with polished surfaces, opacity with transparency, and natural formations with engineered precision, From Sand challenges the perception of glass as a singular material. Instead, it reveals glass as a substance in constant evolution—formed by time, shaped by hand, and perfected through technology.
